United Faculty of Florida-FIU

Last week, our members got an email inviting them to make the transition to eDues! The union busting bill prohibits payroll deductions beginning July 1st. This means you have to be signed up on e-dues to continue being a member after July 1! Details on how to sign up below.

Facts: Florida ranks 43rd in per student spending. Public schools educate nearly 90% of Florida’s students. Lawmakers must do better. #FundOurFutureFL #PublicSchoolsUniteUs

We just won an important legal victory challenging Florida’s Division of Management Services’ (DMS) arbitrary rulemaking on faculty retirement. The ruling below affirms that collective bargaining protects faculty against arbitrary rulemaking. doah.state.fl.us/ROS/2022/22003…

Member of @UFF_FIU, Dr. Aylsworth: "The United Faculty of Florida is here to help resist this onslaught, and, as a union, we’ve fought for decades to improve our working conditions." panthernow.com/2023/11/20/sta…

UFF-UF members: we need all hands on deck now more than ever. Please don’t be dropped from membership this Friday. Questions or concerns? see below!

Join us for a town hall on Tuesday, Oct. 17 at 7:30 p.m. EDT. With so many outside influences on our public schools, now is the time for us to come together and advocate in a unified voice for what we need and what our students need. Register here: bit.ly/3ZQKdXZ

RT!🚨 Existing union members have until October 20th to convert to eDues before they are dropped as members. #SB256 ➡️ linktr.ee/UnitedFacultyFL

See you in court! “… the Fl Legislature has violated state and federal law by impairing …existing union contracts at all 12 public universities represented by UFF & by undermining the right of …. public employees to collectively bargain their working conditions.

Contact the Board of Governors and tell them to stop interfering in FAU's Presidential Search: tiny.cc/faupressearch

We stand in solidarity with our sisters, brothers, and kin at Florida Atlantic University @ufffau, who just had their presidential search suspended until further notice. Political appointees should not be interfering in presidential searches. Contact the Board of Governors today!

Yet again political meddling interferes with the autonomy of university presidential search. UFF rejects the Chancellor's claim and demands that the search continue unimpeded. uff-fau.org/uff-president-…
